The general lab report of the systematic scientific study about the Al-Hijamah (cupping) operation

The study was preformed according to the scientific rules which deduced from the noble prophetic traditions. These rules state that cupping should be applied:

In the early morning, on fasting.

In the springtime, during the second half of the lunar months corresponding to April and May (in the Mediterranean countries as Syria).

For men over twenty years old, and for women over menopause.

The research included 300 cases which have been studied by a laboratory medical team and a clinical medical team. The findings of the study came as follows:

In cases of hypertension, the blood pressure decreased to its normal limit.

In cases of hypotension, the blood pressure increased to its normal limit.

The electrocardiograms showed a great improvement, and graphically there was a return to normal situation in the segments slide.

Decrease to normal limits in ESR.

Moderation in the red corpuscles count.

In all cases of polycythemia (Erythremia), the value of hemoglobin decreased to its normal limit.

In all cases of low hemoglobin, its value increased to the normal limit. This denotes an activity in the body and a growth in its ability in producing benign young red corpuscles which help in more active and effective transporting of oxygen.

In 60% of the cases (cupped persons), there was a rise in leukocytes count within normal limits.

The count of leukocytes increased in 71.4% of cases of rheumatic diseases. This explains the instant recovery of the rheumatic patients and those who suffer from chronic inflammations after they use cupping.

The leukocytes count in the cupping blood did not come to one tenth of their count in the venous blood. This indicates that the cupping operation keeps the components of immunity system in the body.

In 66% of the cases, there was an increase in the iron level within its normal limits.

(T.I.B.C.) was very high in the cupping blood where it varied between (422) and (1057) while in the venous blood it ranges between (250) to (400). This indicates that there is a mechanism which prevents iron from getting out of the cupping scratches retaining it inside the body so as to take part in building new blood cells. This is possibly associated with an activity in the process of iron absorption in the intestines.

(CPK) became normal in 92.4 % of the cases.

(LDH) became normal in 93.75 % of the cases.

These extremely dazzling findings reflected too many cases of marvelous recovery which came as a proof of the grandeur of the prophetic science.
